Double Pin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a double pin by artist not specified. The pin has a textured, rounded head resembling a pinecone. The pin is made of dark-colored metal with visible signs of aging and wear. The pin's head is positioned at the top, with the two long, thin prongs extending downward. One prong is much longer than the other and appears to be broken off near the bottom. A smaller, straight piece of metal lies to the right of the pin, possibly the broken-off piece. The background is a plain gray surface with some minor speckles and marks.
